ISO 492:2002(E)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 492 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 4, Rolling bearings, Subcommittee SC 4, Tolerances.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 492:1994), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 492:2002(E)

Rolling bearings — Radial bearings — Tolerances

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies tolerances for boundary dimensions (except chamfer dimensions) and the
running accuracy of radial rolling bearings specified in ISO 15, ISO 355 and ISO 8443.

This International Standard does not apply to certain radial bearings of particular types (e.g., drawn cup needle
roller bearings) or for particular fields of application (e.g., airframe bearings and instrument precision bearings).
Tolerances for such bearings are given in the relevant International Standards.

Chamfer dimension limits are given in ISO 582.

2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
